Inspections, DIY or no?

If you're new to the housing market- buying or selling a house- "inspection" is something you'll run into. The good thing about an inspection is that you can't "fail"; a home inspection is JUST an observational list- unlike a municipal inspection which makes sure the property is in compliance with local codes or an appraisal which fixes a home's market value.- A home inspection will describe the home's physical condition. It will list any major structural flaws as well as noting which systems or parts of the house will need major repairs. In general home inspectors are not licensed... Now, if you're a do it yourself person, you may be asking yourself "Why can't I do my own home inspection?" The answer is that maybe you can... but professional home inspectors have a good idea of all the components and systems of a house, and how they work together so they may be able to see a problem you'd overlook and wish you hadn't. Also, they're not attached to the house and won't be as forgiving as you might- remember that if there's a major flaw in need of correction that you'll have to list it, and possibly up your loan amount, turning your dream home into something you can't afford.
